*911 TRUTH: NIST REPORT*

198 elevators pulverized because of "plane impact":
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28318-2005Apr5.html

"I may be missing something, but NIST's explanation seems even more idiotic than usual: those darn office fires did it. Do they even address the other steel-framed high-rise fires (Madrid, LA, WTC, etc?) where the buildings burned far longer due to office fires without collapse? (Alex)"

" FBI Director Robert Mueller on Tuesday asked lawmakers to expand the bureau's ability to obtain records without first asking a judge, and he joined Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in seeking that every temporary provision of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act be renewed..."




*FIRST AMENDMENT*

The US media and the pope--an assault on the separation of church and state
www.wsws.org/articles/2005/apr2005/medi-a06.shtml

"The Bush administration has ordered flags in the US flown at half-mast for the death of the head of the Church of Rome, and the US president will fly to the Vatican to attend the funeral. Both actions are without precedent in a country where the separation of church and state is a foundation of a Constitution that was the product of a revolution inspired in no small part by hostility to state-sponsored religion..."

Washington Post editorial (4/5/05) on Haiti:
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26531-2005Apr4.html

--or--

"JUST MORE THAN a year after U.S. forces escorted President Jean-Bertrand Aristide into exile, Haiti remains...a quasi-failed state...."

1. US forces removed Aristide from power at gunpoint, hardly an "escort".
2. Haiti is only a "failed state" because of 200+ years of US intervention, often violently.




*ISRAEL: GOOD NEIGHBOR*

Israel to dump 10,000 tons of garbage a month into the West Bank:
www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml

"Israel has decided to transfer garbage beyond the Green Line and dump it in the West Bank for the first time since 1967. The project was launched despite international treaties prohibiting an occupying state from making use of occupied territory unless it benefits the local population..."
